• Elevate the quantitative research practice by mentoring peers, refining methods and tools, and scaling approaches that increase the visibility and impact of user insights across Firefox.

• Extensive experience leading survey research across the product development lifecycle, using quantitative insights to measure and influence product and business decisions.

• Significant experience using SQL to integrate behavioral data with survey responses to tell a cohesive user-focused story.
• Demonstrated ability to craft compelling narratives using quantitative data and visualizations.
• Demonstrated success operating in fast-paced, agile environments, adapting to shifting priorities while maintaining research impact.
• Strong judgment in balancing research depth and speed, delivering insights that are both actionable and impactful for product and business decisions.
